Humblot's Flycatcher, Humblotia flavirostris, is a passerine of the family Muscicapidae that breeds on montane Grande Comore in the north-western Comoros. It is confined to forest on the slopes of Mount Karthala and is the only species in its genus. The bird has grey-brown upperparts, pale underparts marked with dark streaks, a dark crown with pale streaking, and a yellow-orange bill and feet. Its plumage is notably soft and fluffy, and the crown feathers show an early crest-like form. It was described by Milne-Edwards and Oustalet in 1885.
